Sounds like a pretty good plan.

I like a lot of organic material in the soil and planting in a spot with maximum sun exposure preferably on the south side. I don't know anything about worm towers but I have a ton of worms in my patch so not really necessary for me.

Based on your satellite photo I would probably plant closer to the house and not on the fence line. Soil closer to the house would be warmer during the winter and would be heated by the sun. Banana plants might provide a bit of shade and cool your house during the summer. The plants will lean toward the sun and the flower will most likely fall on that side i.e. onto your neighbor's property if that is the south side so propping might be difficult if necessary.

Good luck!
